Based on the Beach Action Values established by the EPA, today's sampling indicates 333 e coli/per 100 ml of water and is considered unsafe for human contact. The higher the number of e coli present, the greater the risk of disease causing microorganisms. Some possible sources of fecal contamination include; agricultural runoff, wildlife that use the water as their natural habitat, runoff from areas contaminated with pet manure, wastewater treatment plants, and on-site septic systems. Heavy precipitation may cause these organisms to be washed into creeks, rivers, streams, lakes, or ground water. Consumption of or contact with water contaminated with feces of warm-blooded animals can cause a variety of illnesses.
